Kamza Berxulle Dajti Paskuqan Tirana Kashar Farka Vaqarr Tirana Metropolitan Area Boundary Municipality and Communes Boundaries Project Area Map (Tirana Metropolitan Area) Tirana Durres Preface This present report is a summary of Final Report of “the Project for Tirana Thematic Urban Planning”. This report proposes “Master Plans” on long-term perspectives targeting the year of 2027 and “Action Plans” for priority projects which have been identified in the master plans for thematic four (4) infrastructure sectors, namely, 1) Roads and Urban Transportation; 2) Solid Waste Management; 3) Water Supply; and 4) Sewerage and Drainage Systems. Environmental and institutional discussions are also included to seek for a rational way to the implementation of proposed plans. This report was prepared under close coordination with the technical team working for Tirana Urban Regulatory Plan in terms of the population framework and economic activities in association with land use strategies to manage sustainable and balanced urban growth in the Tirana Metropolitan Area. Therefore, planning logics and concepts underlying these thematic plans have been coherent with the Regulatory Plan, because these plans are part of the Tirana Regulatory Plan. Final Report consists of three (3) separate volumes: ₋ Main Text (English, Albanian) ₋ Summary (English, Albanian, Japanese) ₋ General Profiles of Priority Projects (English) We, JICA Study Team, acknowledge all counterpart personnel of Municipality of Tirana, the members of the Steering Committee and those who kindly extended their supports in the course of this project, and hope Municipality of Tiran make use of this report for further development towards its committed vision, “Modern European City”.

The Project for Tirana Thematic Urban Planning 1. Outline of the Project 1.1 Introduction In 2008, the Republic of Albania launched the National Development Strategies with targets to be achieved by 2013. These targets comprise the following: 1) accession to the European Union; 2) democratization based on the respect for basic civil and political rights; 3) more than 6% economic growth; and 4) poverty reduction. Since then, the government of the Republic of Albania (GOA) has carried out various measures to achieve these targets. Along with democratization which started in 1991, urbanization has progressed in the capital city, Tirana, which has accommodated a rapid increase in migrants from rural and mountainous areas. In 2008, the population of Tirana reached 640,000, from 250,000 in 1989, or an increase of almost 270% in just nine years. Such an acute urbanization resulted in serious urban problems such as shortages in infrastructure, particularly in housing. Many rural migrants illegally settled in the surrounding areas of the urban center or in protected green areas where no sufficient water and power supply systems are provided, and where solid waste is managed poorly, resulting in significant degradation of the urban environment. Urbanization is still in progress, and it is predicted that the city’s population will reach one million by 2025. It is thus urgent for urban developments in the transportation, water/sewerage, and solid waste management sectors, in particular, to keep up with the burgeoning urban population. In order to respond to such a serious situation, the Municipality of Tirana (MOT), with support from the World Bank, prepared a comprehensive urban development plan entitled “Urban Regulatory Plan in Tirana Municipality” (URPTM) in 2009. URPTM has set the vision, directions, and outlines of future development based on a needs assessment and situation analyses of Tirana. However, no concrete action plans for urban utilities and infrastructure were included in the plan. GOA, therefore, requested the Government of Japan for technical assistance to conduct a planning study. Given the name “The Project for Tirana Thematic Urban Planning,” the Study is expected to formulate short- and medium-term projects and programs on urban infrastructure based on and in line with URPTM.
